WITNESSES ATTORNEY COTTON-PICKERS SACK.

Application inea May 3, 1921.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, LU E. Nn'r'rnns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elbridge, in the county of @bion and State of Tennessee, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cotton-Pickers Sacks, of which the followingis a specification.

The object of my present invention is the provision of a cotton pickers sack characterized by a bottom construction calculated to materially prolong Vthe usefulness of the sack and this without rendering the sack unduly expensive.

To the attainment of the foregoing, the

invention consists in the improvement as' hereinafter described and definitely claimed.

Inthe accompanying drawings, forming part hereof1- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a cotton pickers sack constructed and equipped in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is an edge elevation of the sach.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section ot the sack on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure l is a transverse section of the sack on the line 4 4 of Figure 1.

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.

The body l of my novel sack is equipped with a loop or strap 2 at its mouth and is otherwise of the ordinary well known construction with the exception that it is provided in its lower portion along its longitudinal and bottom edges with eyelets 4;. t will, also be noticed that the body 1 is provided at its opposite sides and at inter'- mediate points of its length with strips 3 which are stitched along their upper edges to the side walls of the body 1, as indicated by 3av and are provided adjacent to their lower edges with eyelets 3b.

ln association with the bo'dy 1 I employ an auxiliary vbottom or shoe 5 which is preferably, though not necessarily, of the same material as the body 1. The said auxiliary bottom or shoe 5 is or' rectangular` form to conform to the lower portion of Specification of Letters latent.

the sack 1 and is provided adjacent to its edges with eyelets G. The said edge portions of the auxiliary bottom 5 are laced through the medium of one or more strings 3 to the body 1 and one strip 3 on said body 1. From this it follows that when one auxiliary bottom 5 is worn out it may be quickly and easily removed from the body l and a new auxiliary bottom 5 may be as readily applied and attached to the body 1. lt will also be readily apparent that by reason of the auxiliary bottom or bottom piece 5 being capable of use at either side of the sach body 1 the sack is reversible-i. e., is

susceptible of being used with either of its sides uppermost.

lt will be apparent from the foregoing that notwithstanding the inexpensiveness and simplicity of the construction o myl novel sack, the usefulness of the sack may be indefinitely prolonged by shifting the bottom 5 from one side of the body 1 to the other. It will also be apparent that when deemed expedient the body 1 may be used in the lirst instance without the auxiliary bottom 5, and said auxiliary bottom 5 may be employed only after some wear of one or both walls of the body l has taken place.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is f A cotton pickers sack comprising a body closed at its bottom edge and provided in its lower portion along its longitudinal edges and said closed bottom edge with eyelets, strips permanently attached along their up per edges to the side walls of the body and provided adjacent to their lower edges with rows ot eyelets, an auxiliary bottom or shoe provided adjacent to its edgesl with eyelets, and adapted for use at opposite side of the bodyalternately, and means lacing' the auxiliary bottom or shoe to the body along the longitudinal and bottom edges thereotI and to one of the said strips on the body.

ln testimony whereoiL l affix my signature.
